WIP : 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Pt. 3
Since I can’t leave it well enough alone, I decided that I needed to fix the brown color. The new color (on the left below) is Model Color 977 Desert Yellow. Much better. The second main color is white and I realized that I’d forgotten how hard it is to get a very ‘white’ color …...
WIP : 1/144 HGUC MSN-003 Nemo
So while waiting for the paint on the other projects to cure, I decided I needed to finish up this partially painted kit.

I ended up replacing my decals with a set from Samueldecal, which are ALPS printed. The Samueldecal decal is very soft compared to Hasegawa’s but it works fine. …...
A look back at 2015

WIP : 1/72 Skunkmodels Reaper Pt. 1
I couldn’t resist starting on this when it arrived a few days ago. A pleasant surprise is the inclusion of 2 units of MQ-9s in the box, with 2 complete sets of decals too. A greater surprise is how big the MQ-9 actually is… It came together straightforward enough although the in order to get …...
WIP : 1/72 Hasegawa VF-1A Valkyrie Pt. 1
Kit Info Manufacturer: Hasegawa Scale: 1/72 Media: Injection Plastic Nothing new lately as I’ve been bogged down by the F-14 project: landing gear breaking, kit falling onto the table nose first and endless seamlines and gaps to fix.
